We've been struggling with a leak on the transmission for a long time,
but it's recently gotten a lot worse. We think it's coming from the bottom
pan gasket area. Re-torquing the bolts didn't help. I've pulled the pan and will
try straightening out the flange/holes and replacing the gasket, but am considering
an aluminum replacement if that doesn't work.
so, how well have aluminum pans worked out? Is there a difference between the
ragusa and rockwell versions? I've read of some of them having
casting flaws or porosity that causes them to weep fluid.
Are they more fragile than the originals (eg, if hit by road debris, the orignal
will likely just bend, as ours clearly has.)
The extra fluid capacity and drain bung would be great, but we really just need
to stop leaking fluid.
thanks
